SO I haven't posted on my blog in FOREVER! I apologize for that. I am a super busy person, and unfortunately sometimes fall to the wayside. I hate that that's an excuse, but so true. I had major surgery at the March and it's taken way longer than I anticipated to get back into the swing of things.

Anyway, I HAVE been writing. :)

I'm working on CROSSING FORCES BOOK 5, SUPERIOR COLLISION which is Taylor and Shannon's book.

I thought I would share some of it this lovely Sunday.

“You have got to
be kidding me!” Taylor glared at the little paper monster under the drivers’
side windshield wiper of her government-issue black Dodge Charger. It had the
indecency of flapping in the winter breeze. Like it was waving hello—or
laughing. “A freaking parking ticket.”

Taylor makes me laugh. An FBI Agent with a parking ticket problem...

I'm working hard on this book, and I will be sure to keep everyone updated on where I'm at, and when it's coming out when I know more. (Gotta finish, first. LOL)

Books 1-4 are all out, and available EVERYWHERE! To check them out, and read excerpts, please visit my website!

We live. We love. We die.
He is my ultimate undoing.
She is my strength.
He will destroy me.
She will make me whole.
I need him more than the control that he craves.
I need her more than I need my next breath.
He knows me.
She sees me.
As much as I want to, I can’t let him in.
As much as I’ve tried, I can’t let her go.
Together, we need him.

When J.M. isn't working her Monday-Friday 9-5 job, she's spending her time reading, writing and with the love of her life.

She's an all-around Canadian girl. Born and raised in a small city.
If you don't see J.M. writing, you'll find her with her nose in a book. Whether it's her words or someone else's, she's drawn to it.
J.M. loves stories with Alpha broken males and that need to be ripped apart and put back together again. Men that fall to their knees over a wink or a giggle from their females.
Two things you will never find J.M. without; her cell phone and lip gloss. If she has both of those items, you have a happy girl.
Since starting her writing adventure in 2013, J.M. has met many people, real life, online, in her head and she loves every single one of them. Without the support from others, none of this would be possible and she's grateful for all that has been given to her.

I am so excited for so many reasons! (One of which is I am FINALLY done with this book...LOL!)So, this is the 3rd book in my epic
fantasy series, The King's Riders and I am super in love with this story
as much as the cover, and am glad to FINALLY share it with y'all!

It should be out no later than mid-April! Here you go!

Here's the blurb in case it's too small to read:

She’s on the
run, but doesn’t know it…

Raised in the
security of the king’s castle, Lady Elissa Durroc remembers nothing of the
death of her family or how she survived it.As an elemental mage with control over all four elements, her powers are
rare. And coveted by dark magic. None darker than the mage who killed her
parents.

When the king
learns the mage knows Elissa is alive, he orders her to Greenwald under the
guise of choosing a husband. Her protection falls to Sir Alasdair Kearney, a
knight whose prowess on the battlefield is rivaled only by his appetite for
women.

Alasdair’s not sure what to make of being a
glorified nursemaid, despite Elissa’s beauty and intriguing magic. The rogue has rules. Rules that don’t
involve being tempted by his noble charge.

Elissa is
drawn to the knight, even though he’s not on her list of suitors. Can she guard
her heart and her magic? And when the dark mage comes after her, will it be too
late to matter?

If you don't follow my newsletter, you should.
I will announce when the book is out. You can keep up with all my news

It’s
like the culmination of everything awesome. The story’s done, and hopefully the
couple rode off into the sunset together for their HEA. In the case of mine, of
course there’s a fabulous HEA. My inner hopeless romantic wouldn’t have it any
other way.

But as
much as authors hope readers share the same journey when they read the finish
product, a reader can’t 100% understand what it’s like to write a book (unless
the reader is a writer, too. Obviously authors read books. I read almost as
much as I write)

When
it’s my story, my couple, it’s not the same as when I pick up a book by my
favorite author. It’s personal. And in a way, I go on as much of a journey as
the couple.

I
share their ups and downs, when they cry, I cry, when they laugh, that too.
When they succeed, I feel like I do, too.

And
when the book is over, I hope they feel like *I* succeeded in telling their
tale. Then I can get it out in the world and hopefully readers will love them
as much as I do.

No
matter the book, I always end up with a crush on my hero, and many times my heroine,
too. Even if they make me mad, (believe me, sometimes they do) I love them.

Come
to think of it, writing a book from start to finish is kinda like raising kids.
You want the characters to succeed as you watch them grow and change. You love
them and are there for them through the good times and the bad. To get them to
adulthood, and send them off into the world!

After
such a journey, and spending so much time with them, typing “The End” can be a
tad bittersweet. Sometimes I struggle to let go. Even as much as I love to jump
to the next couple, the next story.

I
guess I mourn a bit. Sometimes I take a day or two to decompress. And of course
over-analyze if the book was actually ready to go to my editor. (After I hit send,
of course).

Then
those days, I think of them, often dream of them and wonder if I missed
anything. Then I put those thoughts off until edits come back…lol.

Even
if I start that next book, realigning my focus can be a challenge. The new book’s
characters have to get in my face and remind me whose turn it is. Sometimes I
need that, too.

No
matter how many books I write, I love all my couples, and all my characters.
They carry a small piece of who I am with them. That’s another neat thing about
writing. They mean as much to me as my readers do!

He’s my protector, my confidante. Then one night he became more. I want him, I need him, and, if I’m honest with myself, I love him. I just don’t know if he’ll ever see me as more than what we’ve always been: friends. I don’t want to lose him but it’s getting harder and harder to keep my feelings to myself. Should I risk it all or play it safe?

She’s my light, my saving grace. The night we came together I knew I could never live without her. I want her to be mine: my lover, my friend. Maybe, if I can get her to see past all the reasons why we shouldn’t be together, she’ll be my forever. It just might be time to turn it up and go for broke.

First and foremost Anne is an avid reader of romance reads every single day. Without reading, she wouldn't be inspired to write. The same can be said about music. She started reading with Nora Roberts and Sandra Brown's LoveSwept titles forever ago and went from reading solely traditionally published to reading nearly all indie authors. She still reads La Nora and a few others. A must.

Anne hopes you enjoy reading my stories as much as she enjoys writing them.

I love Cover Reveals and this one is AWESOME! Just gorgeous! Looks like a great read, too!

TITLE:That’s a Lie (Promises, Promises #2)

AUTHOR:Victoria Klahr

GENRE:Contemporary Adult, New Adult

RE-RELEASING:February 27, 2015

SYNOPSIS:

Seth is back.

When he walked back into my life, it almost felt like the pieces of my broken heart could be fixed. I thought we could go back to being best friends, but then I started to feel what I had been blocking out for years. I tried. Boy, did I try! But once I started to let him in, I wanted nothing more than to cross that line from friendship into something more…

Just when I think I can move on and let myself be happy, an ugly reminder from my past comes storming in and threatens to destroy the sliver of hope that's been growing since Seth came back.

Do I even deserve to be loved?

“I’m not asking to fix your heart. I’m not asking to mend you. I love each and every shattered piece of you. I’m asking that you let me love you. Let me love each piece of your broken heart, and I swear to you I will make up for every heartache you have ever experienced.”

I came back for Josie.

I knew I'd have to fight for her, but with the loss of her dad and the truth about what happened with her and Blake, I quickly realized that making her mine was going to be a lot harder than I first thought. The problem is, I can’t pretend like she’s just my best friend. I can’t pretend I don’t want more.

I'm willing to do anything to get her to admit she has the same passionate feelings for me, because I know once she opens up and stops lying to herself, I can show her what it really means to be loved. It's a battle of wills, but my love for her is stronger than her will to stop me.

So I fight for her. I fight because I know she deserves it.

OTHER BOOKS IN THE SERIES:

That’s a Promise (Promises, Promises #1)

SYNOPSIS:

Pain isn’t new to me.

I’ve been to hell only to find it never really leaves when you get back. It haunts me through nightmares, unrequited love, lies, broken hearts, and now death.

A monster almost took my life.

My best friend carries half my soul a world away.

My boyfriend broke my heart but refuses to let me go.

And my father is dead.

I don’t believe in fate and I don’t believe in happily-ever-afters, but for some reason, I still hope.

Live, even with a tainted spirit.

Long for my other half to come back to me.

Risk another broken heart, just to feel loved again.

And refuse to let another horror break me.

In the face of my most recent tragedy, I have to decide whether forgiveness is something I can give. But even if that’s an option, can I be forgiven?
